I don't know what you've been reading, but MJ is a C3 plant, which means it does not require a dark period yes alot of ppl will give it 18/6, but 24/0..24/4...20/4...and so on above 18 hrs light is fine for veg. (This is fact)I would use the 20 to source your first cuttings as soon as you can. Take the best 6 and put them in larger pots....these you can afford to take a few extra cuttings off of this time for the sake of topping. You need to shape them and encourage BRANCHING. If your room is divided and no light leaks you initiate flowering 4-7 days after the cuttings were taken. Remember, the fate of your garden depends on the mothers now so be good to them. On a 60 day flower strain you will take your cuts at the same time you harvest and initiate your new flowers....once every 30 days. If you are planning on a sog it will take a while to get enough out your mothers to accomodate that. For now you do less large plants. Mothers need 18-6 as does veg. Start with the cuttings and let me know how many you get.
And about those clones, you want to let them establish a healthy root system first (about 6 weeks) otherwise you take a chance of burning those roots with your nutes, not to mention having a small yeild...good luck everyone.. (This is my opinion)
